i seriously doubt it will work, you have all 4 banks flashed with the incompatible bios, the threee-wire trick wont even work properly becuase the first 256k bank doesnt even contain a complete bios (since 5028 is 512k)

You will have no video, but from my reading on here, your sound will
still work, and the system will boot a EVOX based DVD or CD-RW.

Make up a new BIOS flashing disc with EVOX, or something very simple,
and with the correct 1mb version of (5028_vOLD) file.

And go thru the steps of FLASHing the BIOS, without NO VIDEO.

Do it as if you were BLIND. Just remember the button presses needed.


You will know if you done it correctly, as within 2 minutes the system
will shutdown by itself.

If not, with 5 minutes and manually shutdown the system, and then
try BLIND button pressing again.

If you have another XBOX, test your flashing disc first to make sure
it works, and write down the button presses you needed to do, and
the time it takes to boot-up to the first screen before you can press
a button.

use euroasia flash disc its the best the only thing you'll have to do
is burn the iso
make a bios disc MAKE SURE THE BIOS IS CALLED bios.bin AND NOT x2.5028.bin.
put the flash disc in your xbox let it boot
when the tray opens remove flash disc and insert the bios disc
wait for it to automaticaly close
wait, when the tray opens again remove the bios disc
wait for it to close again it will reboot
and you will probaply have video again.
And then follow a great guide on how to split your tsop with a switch.
so the next time you fuck up you can recover easier.

Make yourself an evox bootdisk containing the bios.

Re-configure the Evox.ini so you only have one option.

boot, press A, wait 5 seconds.. press Y

Wait and hope (its not like you can be any worse off)

basically you should have used x2_5028_vOld_512k.bin instead of the 1.6 bios that you used by mistake. At least you had another xbox laying around

My question is.. do you have to patch the bios for it to work? or will it run
no matter ... at its default setting?
my question is.. in the x2lba.exe it has an option for
Standard partition...........what setting is that? is that where
C E get standard space and F is large drive?

or is that the option where F gets all space?
